Moments ago, both groundhogs — one in Pennsylvania, the other at the Staten Island Zoo — were woken up early by their handlers to decide if winter will continue or end soon. Phil's handlers (who claim that only their president can understand the groundhog language), proclaimed that he saw his shadow and is predicting more punishing winter. Chuck disagrees, according the New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and predicts an early spring. Who will be right? We know which side we're on.
